Paper Piecing Technique

Strip Quilting with Paper Technique

Black Ice Technique

Bouncing Brayer Technique

This is a technique that I did years ago. I am going to say 12-13 years ago. I'm so happy that I rediscovered it. I did this as my FB Live video on my FB group Stamp Crazy VIP. If you haven't been there you need to go check it out. I do a FB Live video every Tuesday at 10 am EST. I also put a PDF in the file section on the group page that gives the directions and supply list for the technique and the card that I make to show the technique. I would love to have you join my page and enjoy the techniques.

 The Stamp sets I used on the three cards you see as samples are:

 Ghoulish Goodies Celebrate Sunflowers Gather Together

 The Inks I used were: 

Tuxedo Black-Memento 

Stampin' Inks: Pumpkin Pie Gorgeous Grape Pear Pizzaz Garden Green Merry Merlot Crushed Curry

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Coming Soon

 The Stampin' Cut & Emboss will be available to customers in September.  Demonstrators were allowed to pre-order it.  I got it and have to say I really do like it.  It runs really smooth and is easy to handle and carry.  I did a YouTube video showing the machine and using it for you to see.  Just click on the link and you will be able to view it. Here is a picture to show what the machine looks like.  Please visit my store in September to place your order for this machine.  You will love it!

I hope you enjoy the video and it helps you decide if you want to invest in this new machine.  I'm glad I did.  

Happy Stamping,

2. RIGHT NOW, log in to your account in my online store and write down your password, if you don’t already know it
3. Starting on Aug. 4, you may need to change your bookmark for ordering online, the website link will be different.
4.  Be sure you see my name at the top, so that you confirm you are in my online store.  One of the things they say may happen is they would put you with a demonstrator closer to your area.  I sure don't want to lose you so plese be sure you see my Name before ordering.
5. You will love the new look to the online Stampin’ Up! store!!  Much better search functionality, SUPER easy to redeem Stampin’ Rewards and Bonus Days coupons, create a Wish List, and so much more!

You have until August 3rd to get your orders in and earn the Bonus Days Coupons.  For every $50 you spend you will receive a $5 coupon via email from Stampin Up.  That's a 10% savings.  You must keep that email as it will have the coupon codes for redeeming for your $5 off.  You can get multiple coupons on an order. You can also use multiple coupons when ordering in August to redeem your coupons.  Hurry up though......You only have until Monday August 3rd.

Coming Back to the Blogging World

I can't believe it has been three years since I have done a blog post.  A lot has changed since then and I'm hoping to be more consistent.  

Just so you know; I'm still with Stampin' Up and enjoying every minute of it.  As with everyone else the Pandemic has had me make some changes in my Stamping World.  I have not had a class in my home since the beginning of March.  That was my main thing to do for my stamping business...SO...I had to step out of my comfort zone and start some FB Live videos.  Little did I know that I would love to teach that way also.  I have connected with people I haven't talked to in a long time which has been very good.  I enjoy everything about doing the videos and hope to do more as I go.  You can check them out on my FB page....Stamp Crazy VIP.  If you're not a member of the group I would love to have you.  It's for everyone that has a passion for stamping.  

As far as my FB Page Stamp Crazy VIP I do technique videos every Tuesday morning at 10:00 am EST.  I also create a PDF file for each technique with the directions for the technique and also the card I make using the technique.  I also make the technique videos for YouTube.  My channel for YouTube is Stamp Crazy by Rita Holmes.

Please come back and check out my blog as I try to get up and running again.  

Thanks Everyone & Happy Stamping!
